View Full Version : Monica1 in a classic 70s commerical. 80s Dude 03-12-2022, 07:45 PM Pamela Huntington (aka Monica #1/Prototype Monica) was in this classic 1970s commercial. PS. Molly would have been proud of the theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q0P94wyBYk RetroGuy2000 03-12-2022, 08:45 PM Prototype Monica was quite the sex symbol in that ad! Retroist has an article (https://retroist.com/cause-im-a-woman-enjoli/). At the time, feminists felt the ad was demeaning: a "flesh parade", as Molly would call it. Apparently, Enjoli perfume is no longer manufactured, and bottles now sell on websites for over 100 bucks! '80sSitcoms 03-14-2022, 11:44 AM Prototype Monica was quite the sex symbol in that ad! Ha! No surprise...Monica, that "loose woman." :lol: bottles now sell on websites for over 100 bucks! "That's a lot of money!" RetroGuy2000 03-14-2022, 11:50 AM Ha! No surprise...Monica, that "loose woman." :lol: No doubt her Enjoli perfume drove Justin Branch wild! :lol: '80sSitcoms 03-14-2022, 11:51 AM No doubt her Enjoli perfume drove Justin Branch wild! :lol: :lol: But you didn't finish the quote game! ;) I thought surely you would reply with "the comeback" lol.

'80sSitcoms 03-14-2022, 12:10 PM You mean "They probably just charged it." ? Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! 🛎 :lol: 80s Dude 03-14-2022, 12:56 PM Another 70s commercial from Prototype Monica. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrZlV1I8Gts Perhaps her biggest role ever in the 1981 movie Force Five. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGIwex4zvSk RetroGuy2000 03-14-2022, 01:49 PM Another 70s commercial from Prototype Monica. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrZlV1I8Gts 1973! Blair would have only been about 8 years old at the time. I honestly don't know what "That's Western Union toll free" means. They had a toll-free number, but why mention the phone company? '80sSitcoms 03-14-2022, 02:02 PM I honestly don't know what "That's Western Union toll free" means. They had a toll-free number, but why mention the phone company? Maybe it's because 800 numbers were still a relatively "new-fangled" thing (https://www.ringcentral.com/us/en/blog/the-history-of-800-numbers/)? lol. Perhaps Florsheim wanted to ease the public's mind that the phone number was legitimately free, boosting confidence in at-home shoppers and thereby gaining more sales? :lol: Nancy: "I don't know, Blair. '800'? That sounds like a really long-distance area code. I think we should ask Mrs. Garrett." Blair: "You simp! '800' means it's free! I know all about it. My mother's dating the president of AT&T."
